Price isn't too bad for Win4Lin. Is this analogous to Windows emulation on the Mac (damned name escapes me right when I need it)? Is there a list of applications that are known to be stable running under it? (I'm checking the site, so may just stumble on it before a reply ;) ). Haven't heard of Win4Lin before. Know all about WinE (and its derivatives). I mean, ooooh, it can now run Word. Wow... Okay, it's open source, but the darn thing has been around forever. Win4Lin, on the other hand, sounds interesting. The electricity cost thing has me scared - as well as having to scrounge up a bunch of machines. These would have to be systems that only run when large animation render are needed. Cool stuff.. BYS
